#51 of 1696 more air by occupant1 Aug 27, 1999 (2:27 am)
This is because the round tube that connects to the filter...well...inside the other end of that tube there is a silencer that restricts airflow. I noticed this when it fell off accidentally. I leave it on, but that is because I don't want any splashed water to get into the engine. Water ingestion is fatal to an engine, especially one this small...and that air filter isn't very thick or absorbent.
#52 of 1696 Water Ingestion by inuvik Aug 27, 1999 (6:36 am)
Wow, where are you driving your Metro that it would suck water on top of the engine? I live here in the Pacific NW and it rains 9 months out of the year and I have never seen any moisture on top of my Metro motor, my MPV, my Suburban, for that matter any vehicle that had fenders and a hood. I don't mean to razz ya about this but although it is fun to splash through big puddles, you can do engine damage.

I am planning to buy a Metro today or tomorrow but is paying $9,250 3.9% a good deal for a Metro hatchback?
#54 of 1696 Metro Purchase by inuvik Aug 28, 1999 (7:11 am)
Patty, The current incentive for Metro's is $1250 cash back or 0% financing. This promotion goes through September 30, 1999. Are you a college grad? You also would qualify for a additional $400 rebate. I don't know what the sticker is on your Metro that you are considering purchasing. But I would say that if that price is not at least $2000 less than sticker before any application of rebates then you are paying too much. Chevrolet is awash in Metro's. They don't make any money off of them and they have way too much inventory. It's a buyers market. Good Luck
#55 of 1696 Engine Swap by inuvik Aug 30, 1999 (6:39 am)
I have two Metro's, a'89 (great motor, body ok), and '90 metro (great body, sad motor). Just completed swapping the motors between the two yesterday. Went off without a hitch, there is no difference in emissions or any other electrical connections between the two years. So now I am again metro'ing along happily for my 121 mile a day commute. If anyone out there is looking for a complete metro for a parts car let me know. I don't want to piece it out, but I'll sell the whole thing super cheap. My email is in my profile.
#56 of 1696 $2000 under sticker? by occupant1 Aug 31, 1999 (2:33 am)
better be a used one...the profit margin for any new 1999 Metro Coupe is $699. That's the difference between invoice and retail. $9,250 would be a good price if the sticker is over $11,000 or over $11,400 if you have the college grad discount.
#57 of 1696 Metro Prices by inuvik Aug 31, 1999 (4:02 am)
Here in the Pacific NW dealers have been running loss leaders on their Metro's. MSRP $9990 sale price $6999. Maybe GM is running a regional promo?
#58 of 1696 or maybe by occupant1 Sep 01, 1999 (2:11 am)
they do like dealers in Indianapolis where the $6999 sale price requires a $1500 cash or trade equity to get that price. Say they advertise a Metro for $6999 that invoices at $8600 or so. Then they want that difference made up somehow. Read that fine print and make sure they aren't hiding their $1700 somewhere else...like in an inflated interest rate or payment. 2% extra on $10,000 for 5 years comes to an extra $1000 of your hard-earned samoans, making a difference of about $17 a month!
#59 of 1696 Metro Pricing by inuvik Sep 01, 1999 (3:40 am)
Very well could be, I don't know for sure. You never know what these crafty dealers have rolled up their sleeves for "fees & financing kickbacks".

That's why it pays to keep an eye on our Incentives & Rebates info. Information is power! carlady/host
